I just completed a fun blog hop on the Flourishes blog and decided to play right away after gathering the 8 clues along the way. This is for a chance to win their next next release, so I'm crossing my fingers and toes...you know I love their images! I'll show you my ornament card that swings open with a brad fastener...
...and here are the 8 requirements for our creations:
1. Anything but an A2 card
2. Use a floral
3. Add ribbon or lace
4. Inspiration photo (on right)
5. Add a tag
6. Add rounded corner or die w/curvy edges
7. Add antique flair w/distressing or sponging
8. Use die cut or punch
I'll have to admit I used only a smidgen of sponging (on the tag) and I was inspired by the gorgeous colors in the inpsiration photo. On the inside, I stamped sentiments and a smaller poinsettia stamped off once in Wisteria Wonder ink.
Here's what I used:
STAMPS: Poinsettia and Boxwood (Flourishes),Vintage Ornaments (Waltzingmouse Stamps)
PAPER: X-Press It Blending Card, White by PTI
INK: Memento Tuxedo Black, Cool Caribbean, Gemstone brad
ACCESSORIES: Ornament die by SB, Yellow Stickles, Copics, Tiny tags die by PTI.
